Innocent Bystanders

Gummi Bear Scandal Exposed August 17, 2007

Those perfidious Germans. How long did they think they could get away with this?!?

They look innocent enough.

S. Weasel is about to rock your world. She got suspicious when she began her in-depth research on gummi bears (reading a Wiki article):

Something must be controversial in Gummibärchenwelt, because the Wikipedia page is barred from change by newbies (a safeguard they don’t provide obscure, uncontroversial figures like George Bush). Perhaps someone disputes the claim that gummies produce bezoars and bowel obstructions. Or perhaps it’s the fascinating gummy fact that isn’t there. Wait for it. Wait for it…

cool i never liked it too anyways…now i can stop my sister from eating it anymore since its haram…i don’t have to go down to the shop anymore and bring it for her. 😉
thanks for sharing this vital information.

in my home town i am working on a patition to show people that gummy bears have feelings too. they are eaten, and chewed up why should we sit here and watch our friends commit murder to the gummy nation. people don’t believe that gummy bears are anything but candy, BUT THEY ARE WRONG!!! gummy bears let us eat them even when they cry from the pain, and they are always there to cheer you up because they are just that cute so please look at this horrible crime being commited and lets save some gummy bears.

hell no
how can this b
the world is coming 2 an end
even tho i never liked gummies
and it is commiting homicide
there dead now
and made of sugar
now let me snap my fingers in z formation on the situation

No, they get their chewiness from gelatin, which is render collagen, which is taken from wherever collagen can be captured (usuall most offal, and bone scraps no matter the animal.)

I learned that from my vegan friend from when I was in the MC (exactly how you can get your daily requirements as a Marine while being a Vegan is beyond me unless his canteen was filled with soybean oil, but he was)

Gelatin, and collagin is a nono. The vegan guy, used to eat pectin only gummy candies that he mail ordered, and it’s not the same thing, not even close.

There are ORGANIC VEGAN GUMMI BEARS (which I think tast better then regular) Manufactured under strict organic controls in Germany and are QAI certified organic, all Let’s Do Organic™ Gummi Bears are made without gelatin, so they are perfectly suitable for vegans. Eating these Organic Bears are gluten-free and completely vegan, suitable for a wide range of special diets.

This is funny this subject has come up. I live in a town of 3000, and 3 surgeries in the past 3 1/2 years have been required to remove bezoars from children caused by gummy vitamins being taken daily. All 3 surgeons in our town now have advised all family doctors to avoid gummi vitamins and candies. To me, in a town so small, this is a pretty high rate.
